Definitions

  • the invention relates to increasing surface tension.
  • Hot melt adhesive compositions are used in a variety of applications and on a variety of substrates including nonwoven webs, including tissue.
  • Nonwoven webs are used commercially in a variety of applications including insulation, packaging, household wipes, surgical drapes, medical dressings, and disposable articles, e.g., diapers, adult incontinent products and sanitary napkins.
  • hot melt adhesives When hot melt adhesives are applied to nonwoven webs it is desirable that the adhesive possess good flexibility (i.e., hand) and be free from bleed through. When used in applications such as disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and bed pad constructions, it is also desirable for the hot melt adhesive to be capable of transmitting liquid or moisture from the nonwoven fibers into the superabsorbent or fluff core substrates that are common in such applications. This property is known as wicking and is used to draw moisture away from the body and into the adsorbent core as quickly as possible after the nonwoven is wetted. Some hot melt adhesives are hydrophobic and repel moisture, rather than drawing moisture through the adhesive layer.
  • EP 0 422 108B1 discloses disposable articles that include components joined by an adhesive composition.
  • the adhesive composition can be sprayed-on a substrate.
  • the adhesive composition includes a thermoplastic block copolymer, a tackifying resin and a plasticizer.

  • the pressure sensitive adhesive composition is rubber- or elastomer-based and includes surfactants containing polyethylene-oxide and polypropylene oxide blocks.
  • EP 800 833 discloses disposable articles that include a hot melt adhesive composition that includes an olefin containing polymer, tackifying resin and from 1 to 25% surfactant.
  • EP 800 833 asserts that the surfactant causes the adhesive composition to exhibit a contact angle of 90° or less and a reduction in surface tension of less than or equal to about 35-40 dynes/cm.
  • the invention features an article comprising a nonwoven substrate and an adhesive composition that includes: a) a block copolymer comprising monomers selected from the group consisting of styrene isoprene, butadiene, and combinations thereof, b) from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight surfactant, and a tackifying agent.
  • the adhesive composition has a surface tension of at least about 34 dynes/cm.

  • the surfactant is nonionic. In some embodiments, the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of fatty acid esters.
  • the surfactant can be glycerol monostearate.

  • the composition further includes a plasticizer.
  • the plasticizer includes a crystallizing plasticizer.
  • the invention features an article that includes adhesive fibers that include an above-described adhesive composition.
  • the adhesive composition provides a durable bond to a nonwoven article, including tissue articles, and exhibits flexibility, non-staining, and a viscosity sufficient to enable mass production.

  • the hydrophilic nature of the adhesive composition facilitates transmission of fluids throughout nonwoven and porous articles that include the adhesive composition.
  • the hot melt adhesive composition exhibits a surface tension of at least about 34 dynes/cm, more preferably at least about 40 dynes/cm, most preferably at least about 44 dynes/cm.

  • the B block is typically isoprene, butadiene, and mixtures thereof.
  • block copolymers range in A block (styrene or vinyl) content from 0, as in the case of multi-arm (EP)n 8 100% diblock polymers to about 50 wt-%.
  • the non-elastomeric A block concentration ranges from about 10 wt-% to about 45 wt-% with respect to the weight of the block copolymer.
